With blue-chip collecting and art mutual funds on the rise, Switzerland has continued to be a hub of art storage, the website Swissinfo.ch reports.

Nearly 40 art funds keep their works in the country, to say nothing of the famous Nahmad collection. There are also some interesting tidbits about the business of storing works. From the piece:

Expect more from this in the sector as Geneva has recently built another large art storage complex, as has Singapore for the Asian market.
